wdyt? My only problem with it is that it's so freaking popular. I love it though, been a fave for at least 5 years.

I really like it, but prefer the spelling Hayley. It is popular, but if you really like it, then I wouldn't let that put you off.

It's less popular where I live, though still too widely used for me. The normal spelling is Hayley here, which I prefer. I also like Haylie.

Haylie

I've never heard of that spelling before! It's very cute.

It was cute on Hailey (sp?) Mills in the 60's "The Parent Trap." But that's the problem. It's the name of a spunky teen-ager. I can't imagine this name aging well.

(See? I didn't even go off on my "only if it's from your own family tree" rant. Oh. Never mind.)

your right, i can't picture a 70 year old little grandmother named Hailey.

That's not really a problem. By the time a child named Hailey is 70, it will have grown into a grandmother-type name.

I don't like it at all. All -ailey names sound whiny and perpetually immature to me. The only one I have any tolerance for is Kayleigh (this spelling only), because I had a friend by that name.

I agree.

I really don't like this name and it is so very popular. I think is sounds like the name of a bubbly, bouncing, blonde cheerleader. No offence to any blonde cherrleaders out there, its just way too cutsey for my taste.

It is really popular. I have a cousin named Hailey Elizebeth and a friend named Hailey Michelle and then Hailey Duff.
Why not try
Bailey , Baleigh , Baylee
Ryleigh , Riley
Kayleigh (also very popular)
Hillary

but besides the populatrity thing it is a very cute name.

It's ok. I actually prefer Kaylie.
